Help Yahoo Find Its New CEO: Post Nominations Here

Yahoo needs a great new CEO, and it needs one fast. Yahoo's new CEO has to be able to make huge cost cuts, inspire the remaining Yahoos, devise a compelling strategy, win over Wall Street, and make Yahoo great again (or sell it to Microsoft). He or she MUST understand the industry: Yahoo can't afford to wait six months for someone from, say, the TV industry to understand why search is a natural monopoly. So this is a tall order.

Yes, we know, Heidrick & Struggles and Yahoo's board are on the case. But they need help. So post all nominations for Yahoo's new CEO below.

Here are some to get started:

Sue Decker. Not particularly popular among our readers, but an obvious choice. Smart, driven, talented, knows industry and company cold. Obviously a lot of baggage.

Ellen Siminoff. Yahoo employee No. 6, left company after Bubble 1.0 burst. Has since run Efficient Frontier and worked on/for dozens of boards and other companies. Knows industry and company cold. Tough.
